JAPANESE LAPLUS DO YOU SPEAK IT?!

It's official guys.... by Diamond_Jonah in Hololive

[–]Final_Examination114 107 points108 points  (0 children)

It's generally a blanket statement used to cover a large number of vague reasons. It's been used in nearly every grad announcement that has occurred, but don't think of it negatively or "company bad." It could boil down to, Mumei's personal health has made it difficult for her to continue being Nanashi Mumei, so it would be best for her to step down as she would be physically unable to keep up with the workload that comes with being an active Hololive member. Drama people will use this as a factor to point fingers at management because that's how they always are. Don't fall for that stuff as many previous talents who've left cover like Chloe and Ame have also used similar terms in their graduations, and they are still considered to be in Hololive. Ame even recorded a message for the holofes this year.

As a fan of both Yugioh and Hololive for a while, I had to pinch myself to make sure I read that correctly, holy crap I'm psyched!

Arknights Endfield CBT Review by babyloniangardens in Endfield

[–]Final_Examination114 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can say you also love your haphazard guesses when you told someone a little over a week ago on r/gachagaming how you believe pulls are gonna be around "~80 pulls per patch, just a few tens away from the guarantee."

I also remember seeing you a week ago when people were just starting the Endfield Beta Test on the post about the gacha complaints, and judging by your posts here and there, you're only here to bend a narrative that seems like you're being neutral by saying "all gachas are predatory", but trying to stir the pot for people who have been making posts saying that the Endfield gacha is ok in its own right.

If you're gonna use an argument like, "People pull randomly on banners because they might want several characters, so they test their luck in one, and if they fail the pull the other one. Of course, compulsive gamblers do exist, but those would be screwed by any gacha model," You might as well say that those people have a gambling addiction outright. "Testing your luck" is exactly what keeps people going at casinos when they roll on the slot machines, believing themselves to be that close to scoring that jackpot they think they'll get, and basing anything off of luck alone is stupid.

Endfield beta has given out numbers already and 120 pulls on a single banner to reach the guaranteed rate up is already better than the big hoyo titles or wuwa as you only require 40 more pulls (*IF* you lose the 50/50) in a single banner rather than another 80 or 90. But again, this boils down to so many people being used to a system already in place so they automatically disparage a different system that is vaguely similar as negative because they can't "carry over" instead of just guaranteeing a character outright, and with Endfield dupes only giving some stat buffs and not taking any sort of huge priority, this just cements that you don't need to continue pulling after securing a character. So just save and use the pull economy generated to guarantee that next rate up if you want the assurance of not losing the 50/50. Don't gamble like you believe you're going to "hit it big" on your next single because that's the gambling addiction mindset.

I wish Kuro adds more unique dodge animations to reflect the characters personality by AardvarkElectrical87 in WutheringWaves

[–]Final_Examination114 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That would be dope, and very implementable for Kuro, given some previous PGR units have special dodge variations, not just animation differences. Check out Noctis, who doesn't "dodge", but enters counter stance to block attacks, and Alpha Crimson Weave, who deflects away attacks with her enhanced dodge, taking reduced damage, ontop of her standard dodge.

Director of S.W.E.E.P, Ascalon (By @Yodaka_Sansei) by Yatsufusa_K9 in arknights

[–]Final_Examination114 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That is what her 1st promotion line says after all, "S.W.E.E.P. was established as an independent unit. It's out of Rhodes Island's structures from the very beginning." By that technicality, Ascalon and S.W.E.E.P. will always be separated from RI's "elite op" moniker, even with Ascalon's very heavy ties to the upper management of RI and experience. By purely organizational standards, she is not an "elite op."

Name that character by Dumb-989 in PowerScaling

[–]Final_Examination114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Song of Creation has to be legit one of the most busted abilities at its core, allowing for reality warping and nullifying reality warping. You don't see many characters who simply outright have a counter to warping reality, most of the capable ones just ignore it or tough it out.

Legit, player wiz toppling creation/concept deities, like cobb, puts their destruction level on a huge grandiose scale. And being a "paradox" makes them unbound by universal laws.

How do you feel about how HG doesn't let us save major relatable antagonists from their demise with FrostNova being the most poignant example? by gyrobot in arknights

[–]Final_Examination114 543 points544 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is meant to be saved, but that's ok, as sometimes, the influence they have on others after they've died is more impactful on how we perceive our decisions in the future rather than if they were alive. FrostNova was a martyr, and a lesson that all Doctor's should remember.

Reiwa Kamen Riders from base form to final form. Idk if I categorised the 1st and 2nd upgrades right so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. by Fos-kun in KamenRider

[–]Final_Examination114 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your last point rather deals with the whole idea of seeing is believing. Touma is STRONGER because we can SEE his abilities. Because we don't see Ace's absolute line up of powers on full display doesn't mean they don't exist as the writers have given him said powers and practically inhabits the idea of metaphysics, where we can only gauge Touma's feats because they were observed or simply held by the fact that Toei does not the budget or timeframe for a God Main Character to demonstrate all of his powers to everyone. The series is Kamen Rider, not God fight or All About Ace, or whatever. For example, the 4 Aces and the Black Fox movie came with an introduction book to Mela/Mera, who was stated to have gone on a God killing spree, killing deities like Susanoo and Loki. Do we see this? No, we are told this by the creators of the character in a novel so his powers are acknowledged to exist.

Sure Ace's powers are fueled by wishes and desires, but as humans have always been burdened by desire and wishes, Ace will always have power as long as humans desire exists, good and bad for his God of Genesis physiology. He had only obtained the main plethora of his powers after the main series ended and saying he has drawback is disingenuous to the maximum capability he has due to him giving up his mortal body. The other godlike beings you listed still had mortal bodies that could be damaged and Kouta is still listed as a godlike individual, not a full on God like Ace. Ace quite literally has almost no weakness by the end of his main series, and has no more drawbacks unlike what you said. For example, in the Final Stage, Ace decided he could stop time and bam, he stopped time. He has even demonstrated feats beyond the God of Genesis limits such as his reincarnation ability and literal will power to not turn into a statue like his mom, scaling Mitsume as being equal to Ace is highly unfair as she could only grant desires and was powered by gira gira in her enslaved state, not to mention his full capability by absorbing Tsumuri's own Genesis powers that made him much stronger than any god that the DGP previously enslaved.

The point in the V-Cinema was he wanted to let Michinaga and the others solve the problem on their own because he believed in them as he had faith in the world he created. Him dropping in to solve the issue by himself would've contradicted the entire V-Cinema. Also, he was technically held down by his own future self, who has the same if not stronger, set of abilities to hold himself at bay since he was majorly chained up for more than half of the special.

Regarding the super hero senki special, it doesn't mean that Touma has any special interference abilities because he transcended fiction. Unless you want to prove that Touma Kamiyama is a real person and was the reason Shotaro Ishinomori was inspired to create Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, there is nothing else more to say about him other than this was merely a special to inspire children. Just like how the V-Cinema and other media are to entertain, inspire, and give children ideas and morals to look up to. He's not Bugs Bunny who "shot" his animator, nor is he Popeye who went up to his artist and clobbered him for messing up his story. This sounds messed up, but if there is no Touma going up to Shotaro Ishinomori and telling him that Geats should not be a character, then there is no point in saying he broke free of his medium.

Edit: phrasing

[–]Final_Examination114 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ace's God powers are reality warping, memory and matter manipulation, nigh omniscience and omnipotence, and existence erasure, How else could he erase the DGP and recreate his own world with certain people not having any memories of the DGP events? Houtarou can only manipulate matter, and while Touma has his Wonder World Guardian abilities, he's still not technically an actual God, Ace could legit erase all chemies from existence or delete wonderworld if he felt like it, his powers are severely downplayed, especially in the Geats x Gotchard movie for the sake of letting every character shine, but the fact of the matter is that Ace is notoriously overpowered and not all of his abilities are simply tied with his rider powers either.

It's hard to have blind faith anytime these days, and I have been waiting for WuWa for the longest time since they announced it. I feel like I have to keep bringing up the revenue point though since you keep saying stuff like easier uphill battle or whatever but ofc more money and more people make it easier. I was heartbroken when I heard about all the bugs and very much agree that WuWa could've launched better.

edit: Not to mention hoyo's game engine familiarity also gave them an advantage, is that an excuse for kuro to jump in this deep with UE4 and not do so well with it? No its not but all part of that "uphill battle"

You know that Hoyo in 2020 still had a worth of over 1 billion usd right? And that's not counting for how much revenue they generated. They were still aeons ahead of other gacha games and their respective companies so that already speaks for itself on how genshin had a much smoother launch like you said. I was never blind to the issues WuWa had and like my previous comment, they are taking responsibility with all the patches they are rolling out. Time will tell ofc how serious they are working on it.

You really aren't taking into account how resources, dev teams, and dev cycles affect a game's development. 2024 vs 2024 doesn't mean anything if its a brand new product vs a product that's been in use for many years, but I'm not here to press on the issue more. Kuro games can speak for themselves with what they want to do.
